Not really a symptom but at 19w +2 ive finally decided that, that gassy feeling i get randomly throughout the day in my pelvis over the last week or so is actually baby moving.
Acid reflux middle of the night wake ups for the win. UGH!!! And apparently I need to go see a hematologist bc my iron is low despite meds. So that doesn't help my stress or exhaustion.

AR is such a bitch. My OB just told me to double up on my Zantac dose and it (so far) seems to be helping.
I should have bought stock in Tums during my first pregnancy and now again, I think the same. Eating them like candy. Not sure the g'damn Pepcid is working!
Add me to the list of people who’s having epic heart burn. With my first pregnancy, I ended up having to take prescription medication for it because it got so bad.
The heartburn is misery. I’m taking 150 mg 2x’s a day and it’s still not enough. I’m sure I’m be on Rx meds soon (I was with my other two so I’m not too surprised).
Holy shit I’m pretty sure I just had a Braxton Hicks contraction. I panicked for a bit before realizing what I was. Didn’t know they could happen this early, but google tells me it’s normal to start feeling them at week 16 (I’m 17 today) for FTM’s. All you STM+’s would have probably laughed if you saw my face while it was going on, I legit thought there was something seriously wrong!

@grebretso and @danixbanani24 I’ve been getting them off and on too and at first I was like whaaaaat is going on? Then I remembered my friend telling me she got them this early on too (I didn’t get them till third tri with DD). They still kinda take my breath away at times.
Also I have a weird pinching feeling in my right front side of belly, I had to roll my pants down to relieve some pressure off it but I still feel it.
Lastly, last night I noticed my belly button has changed... its starting to get shallower, DH always joked that it didnt have an end to it... but the end may just be visible soon, Lol..
Never thought I would be thankful for a next day doctor appointment. Everyone at work is getting sick, a few even got the flu already and I woke up feeling crappy. So many aches and pains and runny nose(had that for awhile!) And massive diarrhea. Been in bed all day trying to feel better without success. Every time I eat I run to the bathroom at least 2x. And for once it isn't for vomiting. Although the mucous is making me dry heave.
ROund ligament pain in full force today. I think I’m definitely going to need to invest in one of those support bands since I’m already feeling like this and have 20 weeks to go. Yikes!
I swear my bump was like the Grinch's heart and grew 3 sizes today! God bless my support band. I'll probably wear this one out before Halloween as much as I use it!
I feel like a camel. I cannot get enough water today and of course I'm going to be peeing all night. My body must need the extra hydration though right? I mean it's not like I'm drinking TOO much.

@AshleySparkle720 I feel like I am always thirsty! Gatorade seems to be the only thing that quenches my thirst, but then I feel guilty for all the sugar. I tried coconut water and that seems to help, but I have to have it ice cold.
@cassafrass15 I'm so sorry. I'm on yeast infection #3 thanks to antibiotics But thanks for the tip about caffeine! I hadn't thought of that. I was just like "well Excedrin is off limits" and that was that. I'll have to try next time I'm getting desperate.
19w today, hip pain round ligament pain lower back pain... BH contractions... ugh. I think I wake up every 2 or 3 hours to pee or turn or take tums. Sore nipples too. Where's that glow
Only bright side is baby kicks! Except when they land one solid kick right square in my very full bladder lol that was a feeling
Getting some good kicks/punches today at 19 weeks!
Miserably tired, but can’t sleep due to being uncomfortable.
Epic, house-shaking sneezes. I actually fell over the other day after a particularly violent sneeze.
@grebretso those early Braxton-Hicks can definitely be disconcerting! I’ve sometimes found that staying really super hydrated can help keep them at bay if they start happening more frequently.
Thanks @wrensnest! I forget to stay hydrated all the time, so I’ll definitely try to drink more water. I only had the one BH yesterday, hopefully that’s it for a while. Even though I know they’re harmless, it’s still unnerving!
in other news, I’ve gained 6 pounds total! So I’m actually within the 5-10 pounds range! I don’t feel so bad anymore, and hopefully my doc won’t scold me. I guess I’m supposed to gain more since technically I started out underweight, but I’m pretty sure I’m fine because I think BMI is bullshit. It takes nothing to be under- or overweight according to that standard, and it seems to be designed to make people feel bad about themselves (rant over).

@grebretso- With you on the BMI is bs vibe. In my non-pregnancy, I am 6' tall with a FF cup (euro, so I guess H US), and wear a size 12 in Banana/Gap or whatever, and I'm a decimal from obesity based on BMI. Ummm, seriously?! If I'm basically obese at that, then I give up.
Is anyone else getting "waist" pain at night? It's so bad that it wakes me up. Not sure how to describe it...it's like both sides of my waist area get super sore after lying down for a while and there is NO comfortable position once that happens. Other than that I'm feeling pretty ok. Still playing the "gas vs. baby?" game, and my belly finally popped, which is both weird and awesome.
@Sornusa it could be RLP, but that seems a little out of range if it's higher up on your sides. Another possibility is it could be your abs getting sore from the added weight of your belly. Could you try lying on your side with a pillow wedged under your belly to help support that? I also like having another pillow between my knees, which makes my hips feel better.
Well I am back in the club with the drainage and stuffy nose. It went away for about a week or 2 and then I woke up this morning and it’s back! Ughh the drainage was making me gag this morning
@dcaron10 My allergies have been especially horrible this week. As Shakespeare said, "Something is rotting in the state of Georgia" (or something along those lines)! LOL Whenever the leaves begin to fall and plants begin to die, my allergies kick in big time.
Ok I’m sorry for bringing up food because I have not suffered as much as a lot of you have with MS but I am so sick of eating! Like I’m hungry but nothing satisfies me or tastes good. Ugh I’m like wtf I don’t even want to eat dinner because nothing is appealing.
@hannahbananas11 that makes sense... I've been using a pillow between my knees but haven't tried under the belly yet. I'll give it a go, thanks @bellebaby221 glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'll let you know if a pillow under the belly makes a difference tonight. Fingers crossed.
@danixbanani24@BourbonBiscuits +1 for not excited about food at all. People keep asking me about cravings. You probably get more cravings than I do, buddy. I have not wanted to eat a thing since week 5. Except maybe that sushi that one time.
Ive been having really intense vaginal pain/spasms (if that makes sense) since my vaginal U/S on Monday. It’s enough to wake me up at night but I don’t know if this is normal? No bleeding. The only reason I haven’t called my OB is because she’s not in for two weeks so my only option is the ER. Anyone else have these?

@notthecheat I’m getting a migraine pretty much every other day at this point - drinking a little caffeine and taking some Tylenol sometimes helps.
Also, I’m pretty sure I have a yeast infection. So that’s lovely.

Yes I get that same kind of pain. Wearing my belly band to sleep at night helps but doesn't take care of it completely.
